ABSTRACT
Stefan Weiss, marketing manager at Ross IVD, just read an e-mail from Dr. Carola Chabari, a prominent scientist he had recently met in Kenya. What he read made him sit back and think cautiously about what she offered to the company. Dr Chabari, a researcher at the Kenya Medical Research Institute, had proposed a new, less costly HIV testing method. She wrote that she had not sent this information to anyone else in the in vitro diagnostic industry, although her fi ndings were to be published in a medical journal soon.
